Stokes, Shawler, Stohr stymie Spinners
Trio of Oneonta pitchers combine for seven-inning no-hitter
By Danny Wild / Special to MLB.com

Oneonta's David Stokes couldn't bear to watch his team take a loss after pitching five hitless innings Monday. Especially after seeing them get no-hit nine days earlier.

So he sat in the clubhouse and waited.

"It was just me not wanting to see my team get a loss on a no-hitter," said Stokes, who popped back into the dugout just time to see the Tigers erase a 1-0 deficit on Ben Guez's two-run double in the top of the seventh inning.

Stokes, Anthony Shawler and Tyler Stohr combined on a seven-inning no-hitter as Oneonta held on for a 2-1 victory over the Lowell Spinners at Edward LeLacheur Park.

"It felt good," said Stokes. "Especially because we came back and won."

Making just his third career start, Stokes allowed an unearned run, walked three and struck out a career-high seven before Shawler hurled a perfect sixth and Stohr closed out the seventh for his fourth save.

"The whole time, you're just hoping they don't get a little blooper or something," said Stokes, who was reluctant to leave the mound after reaching his pitch count. "I understood, you have to get your work in and I accomplished that."

Tri-City's Ashton Mowdy, Shane Wolf and David Miller combined to no-hit Oneonta on June 21, and Stokes hadn't forgotten that game.

"I think it was different for them. It was a nine-inning game," he recalled. "It didn't feel like a no-hitter (tonight), it wasn't a shutout. You usually have a no-hit shutout, so it didn't feel as good as I'm sure it felt for Tri-City."

The 6-foot-8 right-hander out of Liberty College worked his way into and out of trouble in the first two innings before Jonathan Hee walked and scored on second baseman Mike Gosse's throwing error in the third. But Stokes rebounded to toss a perfect fourth and struck out two in the fifth to end his night.

"I was pumped after I came out," he said. "If we hadn't been trailing, then I would have stayed out there [in the dugout]. Of course I wanted to finish it, it's just seven innings, but it's probably a good thing I came out. But of course I was a little bummed."

The 21-year-old Locust Grove, Okla., native lowered his ERA to 0.53.

"I think the big thing was throwing all four of my pitches for strikes," Stokes said. "My curve got most of them, back door, and a few in the dirt. I had a couple of lucky ones. I threw a changeup over a guy's head and he swung, so I've got to laugh at those. But the biggest thing is throw strikes with all four pitches. "

Shawler (1-2), the Tigers' ninth-round pick in this year's First-Year Player Draft, cruised through the sixth to pick up the win. Stohr, a North Florida product making his fifth career appearance, got Darren Blocker to fly out to right field in the seventh to complete the no-hitter.

The regularly scheduled contest followed the Tigers' 14-2 loss in the completion of a suspended game.

Oneonta appeared headed for another defeat before Gosse walked to lead off the seventh. Eric Harryman reached on a sacrifice attempt and Christopher White bunted into a force play before Guez delivered his clutch double to left to give the Tigers the lead.

"When I looked out in the seventh, I was glad they were out there playing. I didn't want to lose on a no-hitter," Stokes said. "So I was pumped about that."

Detroit's 28th-round pick in this year's Draft, Stokes has allowed only one earned run in 17 innings over three starts. The 21-year-old right-hander hurled six scoreless frames against Tri-City to win his professional debut on June 20. He held Lowell to a run on six hits over six innings in his previous start on June 25.

Shawler was drafted by Washington in 2005, but opted to stay at Old Dominion, where he went 11-2 with a 2.20 ERA last year. He won five games in 2008 before debuting for Oneonta (7-7) on June 17.

"I'm glad I got drafted a little later, because now there's everything I can gain and nothing I can lose," he said. "I can just go out there and prove myself like I've done in the past. The wood bat makes a difference too. Now I can use my two-seamer more effectively and jam some bats. That was one of the biggest things."

The Tigers' no-hitter was the second in the Minor Leagues on Monday and the third in two days. Missoula's Miles Reagan, Jesse Orosco and Bryan Shaw combined to no-hit Helena in the Rookie-level Pioneer League on Monday after Major League veteran Dustin Nippert tossed a seven-inning no-no against Omaha for Triple-A Oklahoma on Sunday night.

Reliever Daniel Buller (0-1) took the loss after giving up two runs on two hits and a walk with one strikeout in 2 2/3 innings.

Ryan Dent walked twice in the nightcap after drawing five free passes in the opener for the Spinners (7-7).

"I don't know what he did, it was like he had some voodoo on the ball," Stokes said of Dent. "I couldn't throw a strike to him. I don't know why. I don't know what was going on."

News & notes for the week of June 16
By Nick Cammarota / Special to MLB.com

Oneonta Tigers (Detroit Tigers)
THE WEEK IN REVIEW: The Tigers are tied with the Lowell Spinners for first in the Stedler Division with a record of 3-2. They've played only one home game and were no-hit, 10-0, by the Tri-City Valley Cats.

WHO'S HOT: Right fielder Keith Stein had his four-game hitting streak snapped in Saturday's no-hit loss, but before that recorded three consecutive two-hit games. The lefty hitter, who throws right-handed, has five RBIs and a .350 average. Left fielder Hayden Parrott leads the league in RBIs with eight. He had four Thursday against the Vermont Lake Monsters, and also leads the NYPL in runs scored with seven. If supplying a .350 average and .650 slugging percentage isn't enough, he's only struck out twice.

WHO'S NOT: Sean Finefrock has had a rough time in two appearances. Through 1 2/3 innings, the 6-foot-5 right-hander was lit up for seven earned runs on eight hits and plunked two batters. On the bright side, he hasn't walked anybody, but he's still got a team-high 37.80 ERA.

PROLIFIC POWER: The Tigers are tied for first with the Lowell Spinners for most home runs, as four different players have powered balls out of the park. Their offense has scored the most runs in the league (34), and that's after getting blanked by Tri-City on Saturday.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Our catchers are going to be vital, because these pitchers are going to need some help," said first year manager Ryan Newman to the The Daily Star on Saturday. "We need them to control the game, take over and run it smoothly. They are as much connected to me on the field as anybody. They are involved with every pitch, and everything runs through them, so it's going to be a lot of responsibility for them, but I like this crew we have."

Oneonta Tigers (Detroit Tigers)
THE WEEK IN REVIEW: The Tigers are tied for first in the Stedler Division with three teams with a record of 6-6. They're 2-4 at home and beat Tri-City on Saturday to force the four-way tie.

WHO'S HOT: RF Keith Stein has hit safely in every game except three this season. The left-handed batter, who throws right-handed, has four hits in Oneonta's last five games (.288) and leads the team with 9 RBIs. ... CF Ben Guez leads the team in runs scored (12) and had six hits last week, including two doubles.

WHO'S NOT: Yet another catcher is struggling in the early going. O-Tigers backstop Tyler Weber is 4-for-21 thus far, but may be coming out of his slide given a two-hit output Friday. He has one walk and seven strikeouts in six games. ... In two appearances last week, RHP Mark Sorensen has been touched for nine runs -- eight earned -- on 14 hits in 7 1/3 innings. He's struck out seven and walked one.

NOT SO STOKES: RHP David Stokes picked up his first loss of the season, though he allowed just one earned run -- four total -- in a 7-1 loss to Lowell on Wednesday. The unearned tallies came as a result of two Oneonta errors, one of which was Stokes'. Still he's got a fairly minuscule 0.75 ERA on the season.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Seems like both teams showed up with the bats today. It's just [Tri-City] scored nine and we scored seven. We just didn't have enough for them," said first-year manager Ryan Newman to the The Daily Star on Saturday regarding his team's 9-7 loss in which the O-Tigers collected 12 hits, but Tri-City had 19.

Oneonta Tigers (Detroit Tigers)
THE WEEK IN REVIEW: The Tigers are in a four-way tie for first in the Stedler Division with a record of 6-6. They're 2-4 at home and beat Tri-City on Saturday to force the tie.

WHO'S HOT: 2B Mike Gosse recorded eight hits last week, including a three-hit performance Thursday against Auburn in an 8-5 loss. ... LHP Tyler Conn struck out four in two scoreless innings of relief last week.

WHO'S NOT: After recording three hits in his first six games, Luis Arlet has seen diminished playing time, getting into just one game last week (Sunday against Lowell, where he went 0-for-4). ... In his fourth start of the season, RHP Luke Putkonen allowed five runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings for his first loss of the season Thursday against Auburn.

UNLUCKY NUMBER SEVEN: Seven times this season the O-Tigers have scored three runs or fewer, something first-year manager Ryan Newman credits to the team's lack of timely hitting. "We're swinging the bats alright. We're getting our hits. They're not necessarily timely hits right now, but they'll fall. We just have to keep swinging," said Newman to the The Daily Star on Saturday after his teams' 5-2 loss to the Auburn Doubledays.

RIGHT BACK AT YOU: Nine days after being no-hit by the Tri-City ValleyCats, the Oneonta Tigers tossed a no-no of their own. David Stokes, Anthony Shawler and Tyler Stohr combined on a seven-inning no-hitter as the O-Tigers worked their way to a 2-1 victory over the Lowell Spinners on Monday at Edward LeLacheur Park.

Oneonta Tigers (Detroit Tigers)
THE WEEK IN REVIEW: The Tigers are second in the Stedler Division with a 13-12 record. They're 6-6 at home.

WHO'S HOT: SS Brandon Douglas is on a seven-game hitting streak, with a two-hit and three-hit game in that stretch. He hit his first home run of the season Friday against Staten Island. ... RHP Anthony Shawler made two appearances last week, getting the win against State College on Monday, pitching three shutout innings and striking out two, and going one inning and allowing one run on Wednesday.

WHO'S NOT: C Joseph Bowen has one hit in his last 19 at-bats (.160). ... RHP Mark Sorensen lost his second game in four outings, allowing three runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out one.
